closed for @spideysmuses // nathan h. & lacey y.

He was at it again: Nathan had been spending far too much time in his office, engrossed in his own things. Sure, he still was a devoted father, but he was aware he'd been failing yet once again as a husband to Lacey, although to be technically correct (and he loved accuracy), they weren't married per se: they signed papers that stated otherwise months ago. He also knew Lacey had been noticing he was more absent than usual lately. However, there was just this one thing that had been keeping him very occupied and he needed it to be perfect.

It happened to be the weekend, fine sunny Sunday, and while the children were getting ready to go out, he was instead getting ready to go somewhere else. 'I think I'll make it to lunch, Lacey. If not, surely afternoon. The kids won't even notice it.'

❛  ❀ ––  Closed starter for @spideysmuses​  (Nathan & Lacey)

while their divorce was still very fresh in his mind –as he hoped it was in hers as well, despite the many months since it was formally finalized– nathan was very much struggling with every single thing resulting from it as he was opposed to the divorce since the very beginning. he knew their marriage hadn’t been the same for a long time now due to their respective hectic jobs, but he was positive they could overcome their struggles if they both put in some extra effort, yet lacey... it still didn’t feel real at all. ever since the very moment she asked for a divorce, nathan had the feeling he’d been living in some sort or parallel universe, as if he was watching himself from afar. 

and himself being a public figure, media and tabloids made everything even harder and worse if possible for everyone, their children in particular. it was all, in one word, a circus. also having to bring the kids back and forth to either his or hers... it was all tough and due to the busy nature of his job, he’d sometimes be late to bring them back to lacey’s, like that afternoon after school. “i know i’m late bringing them back. i had to quickly stop by the office to grab some papers. not that’s an excuse in any way. didn’t want you to get worried about them.”

@spideysmuses // felicity x felix

"C'mon, Cookie! Kick some ass!"

It was definitely not something all the other middle schooler-moms were yelling out into the crowd, but Felicity fancied herself different from the rest of the pack. If the other parents didn't want to cheer their kids on as hard as she did, that was on them. Hell, she would cheer for her son with a megaphone if she was allowed to bring one on school property. Her littler daughter, Christina, even joined in on the fun; sans the profanities, of course.

"Go big bro!" she yelled out at him before taking a seat.

Today was the school's first track and field meet of the year, and Cookie's first race ever. Felicity knew how much it meant to him for not only his mom to be there, but his dad too—which was why Felix was also in attendance. After a couple more woos! in the direction of the track, she sat down on the cold metal bleachers and turned to the father of her son.

"You know, it means a lot to Cookie that you're here right now. Thanks for showing up."

😍 : a loving voicemail

'Hey Archer, it's just me- I know, not the right phone number but I borrowed a friends for a second. I just wanted to tell you that I miss you, miss your voice. I'll see you soon, I promise. I'll find a way to send word to you where we can meet. I love you so much.'

@spideysmuses​​ sent a meme from x // accepting ! 

“when’s the last time you ate?” (lacey to nathan!)

It was safe to say that things between Nathan and Lacey had been going rather smoothly ever since that dinner with friends –finally, after many attempts they succeeded– and especially after the holidays. Just as he said he would, Nathan started taking less and less workload, so he could spend it with Lacey and the children. Although, for the workaholic in him, such a task was not easy at all and few times here and there, he ended up in his office at home buried in work. "is that a rhetoric question by any chance, dear?” he said, gaze lifting up from the pile of papers over his desk, a soft yet tired smile tugging up his lips. “i did have one or two biscuits with my tea if that counts.”
